ICR UNIGRS JU I0 Presidential debate sparks interest of student Excitement flows as Mondale arrives by Teresa Rohn Politics? What junior in high school really cares about politics? I certainly didn't until my sister asked if I would like to go to Kan- sas City to meet Walter Mondale. My sister's group, the College Young Democrats from the Uni- versity of Kansas, and the Demo- cratic groups from Kansas State and Washburn University went to help set up the after-debate party for Mondale. As soon as I got off the phone, telling her that I would love to go, I began learning all I could about the issues. We were all going to leave from the Union at KU. After arriving at the Radisson-Muehlbach Hotel and depositing all of our belongings in a reserved room, we set out to explore the area. We walked around for a while and then re- turned to the hotel to start making posters for the rally. Excitement rose as someone announced that the plane Mondale was on was ar- riving shortly. We took our posters and stood outside the hotel and be- gan yelling pro-Mondale slogans. Mondale soon arrived to a mass of very excited people who were hop- ing that they were looking at the next President of the United States. Mondale was rushed into the hotel by his many security guards to prepare for the evening's debate. We followed the mob of people amidst patriotic Radisson-Muehlbach site for post- JUNIORS SCHOLARS balloon debate celebration and began decorating the ballroor once again.

I U- 4174! PHGMGRES SOPHOMGRE Sophomores express contrary views on required class ' think that requiring speech for sophomores was a good idea. 'ust wish weren't a sophomore., J -Cinnemon Bath. STEPHANIE VINCENT: I feel this class will be a great help in college and that way I might have a head start over other people. DONNIE BORDERS: I think that speech should not be required because who is going to speak in front of 18 or so people when they get out of high school? ELISA GOODNOW: The only thing that I basically hate or dislike about this class is that the teacher takes 10 percent off your grade for every minute or fraction of a min- ute in which you did not make time for, and that really hurts your grade. DARREN SCHUH: I dislike the topics that we have to choose from because they are mostly bad. RANDY MATZKE: I dislike having to get up in front of the class and present them with a speech. I don't have any trouble writing the speeches, but I can't deliver them very well. I do like the teacher, though. Mrs. Naylor is really great. She pushes each student to the maximum. TAMMY YINGER: This class will help me out when accepting awards and talking to people I work with. LISA THOMAS: I dislike hav- ing to perform in front of the class the most. DAVID GRAF: I don't like writing outlines or having so many 1 sr ss fif fl llil .I . A ' Photo by Jenni Jarmel. SCHOLARS 1 SOPHOMORES speeches to do.
